Used AMC Cars for Sale near Nanaimo, BC

This car is in magnificant condition. It has the 258 I6 Crysler in it with a 3 speed B&M slap shifter. Exterior is perfect but the interor needs a little TLC. I love this car and will never get rid of it

Acceleration to 60 mph is about 19 seconds. The car is slow because it only has the power it needs (90 hp)it is appropriate. Braking is adequate but you had better be paying attention to what is far ahead of you. These cars need to be driven thoughtfully. No antilock braking here! Handles like a dream, nimle turning radius. The car is quiet at speed. No squeeks or rattles. You can easily speak to passengers with the windows down and the vent windows open... its erie. Styling is great, both inside and out. People love this little car, always gets smiles. Change the oil every 3 thousand miles, no oil filter on the car. Adjust the valves every 10 thousand miles. Grease the joints with each oil change. The car reliably gets 22 mpg. If driven carefully with the 3 speed manual and using the auto overdrive, the car is capable of far better. Mobile gas milage fuel champion in 1958, they got more than 36 mpg but they did not exceed 40 miles per hour. The heater is exceptional, no cold toes here. The car is fun, fun fun!!!

Great acceleration, decent brakes, decent handling for its day. The color, Castilian Grey Metallic, was introduced in 1969, was great, but the paint code was wrong and caused lots of problems getting paint work done. The AC was inadequate & the windows rattled from day one. I installed the Trendsetter Sidewinder side pipes, which really looked good on the car. Also installed a Hurst shifter, as the stock shifter was not so hot. I read recently that they were equipped with Hurst shifters from the factory - not true. 390 V8, front disks, all the Go Pack options ordered separately because I didn't want stripes. Lots of room in the car - I cold pack my entire set of double bass Ludwig drums in the car.

It is the first cross over, first car to have full time 4x4, it is 25 years old so obviously it is built solid, got a 4.2 straight six with great torque. Car almost saved AMC from chryslers death grip.

the 4 wheel drive got it anywhere no matter the weather. power wasnt bad and the heater worked decently. the engine ALWAYS started, even in -30 and no block heater. it wasnt a sports car by any stretch of the imagination and the suspension reminds you on every turn, but there is something cool about pulling Jeeps out of snowbanks with a compact station wagon
